aha, perhaps it did. I no longer use downloadhelper since returning to
firefox, and have not experienced the problem. Will report back if
this proves incorrect...

cheers

Title:
  Firefox consumes memory

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  I use firefox in ubuntu 10:10. I have the system monitor applet
  running in my toolbar. As I open and close firefox tabs or new
  windows, the memory in use displayed creeps up, until after some
  period (of days usually, I do not reboot the machine or exit firefox)
  the memory usage for firefox (no other task running) consumes most of
  the memory (~85% which robs cache headroom), firefox freezes, and I
  have to exit it. This causes the memory to return to mostly free, then
  restarting firefox with the same web pages exhibits a much lower (15%)
  memory usage.

  I watch embedded videos, and occassionally use downloadhelper to
  download these to watch later.
